The temporary number is an alternative for those who want to preserve their privacy and security online, and not need to provide their data to a website, person or application.
They can be used to verify online accounts that require a phone number, such as messaging apps such as WhatsApp, social networks such as Instagram or Facebook, and shopping websites.
Instead of using your personal number, the verification code can be sent to a temporary number, for example, protecting your real one.
